Roy Pett Poet Rhyme

Self Pity

Looking through my tainted window of gloom

grey skies, rain falling, feeling sorrow

impatiently wanting  life to resume,

will things change, get better tomorrow, 

sure that  grass was greener the other side,

not walking a mile in your well trod shoes 

now ashamed looking for somewhere to hide

didn't realise how easily I would bruise,

underestimate this feeling of loss

an unidentifiable man anymore 

floundering like a wounded albatross,

indecent intentions, now I deplore

apologises are unheard, your not here

didn't know how so much I loved you dear.

Darren White February 5, 2017 at 5:15 AM It's good to know this was not a personal loss. It so well describes the loss of color and will to live. Roy Pett February 5, 2017 at 6:57 AM Thank you very much Darren for reading and your very kind comment, like I replied to Daniel if I lost of my wife I would wallow in self pity, thanks for your support, Roy.

Daniel Turner January 30, 2017 at 3:20 PM Sad write, Roy. If it's personal. just think of it as her loss. You've probably culled better on the corner:) Roy Pett January 30, 2017 at 3:35 PM Thank you very much Daniel, no it's not about me but if I did lose my wonderful wife I would probably drown in self pity, Thanks again, Enjoying your writes, Roy.
